​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The mission of the Institute for Renewable Energy consists of innovative and interdisciplinary research and development in cooperation with local ​and international partners in order to promote technologies making use of renewable energy as well as efficient energy management.

The institute supports industry customers in the launch of innovative technologies so that they can establish a competitive edge in the market. The profit and satisfaction of its customers are a measure of the institute's success.

Research activities are chosen according to market demands. The institute collaborates closely with leading European research institutes. The major priority is given to the ensuring of independence, neutrality, and accuracy.

HEART is a multifunctional retrofit toolkit including different components (ICT, BEMS, HVAC, BIPV and Envelope Technologies) that cooperate to transform an existing building into a smart building.​ww​w​
